| Learning takes place in spaces that are not limited to the classroom, as it is a process that occurs everywhere within the educational facility, starting from the classroom to the corridors, roads, etc. The learning spaces within the educational facilities are classified into formal and informal learning spaces. The official learning space is the space that is used according to regular official appointments, and these spaces vary to include classes, lecture halls, laboratories, ceremonies, ... etc. There are several factors that affect the design of formal learning spaces, including: The development in pedagogy: The pedagogy has witnessed a shift towards active learning and collaborative learning, and teaching methods vary according to the need of the scientific subject, which results in arranging the semester according to the teaching method followed. . New students' qualities and habits: Understanding students ’characteristics and habits helps in designing and developing learning spaces. There are five important features for new students that must be taken care of and taken into account: digital, mobile, independence, social, and participatory. Rapid development in educational communication technology: It means all digital and non-digital devices, devices, software and media that are integrated into the education process. Education technologies can be divided into three categories, namely, virtual technologies, installed devices, and mobile devices. The tendency towards the human being at the center of design: through concern for some features, including: health (which includes: physical comfort - good lighting - acoustics - indoor air quality), motivation (through attention to sensory signals - contact with nature, various color shapes), adaptation ( Through flexibility - sufficient space - portable display - connection to various information - Informal learning space is a space inside the educational facility that allows students to practice and discuss academic work without committing to official deadlines. The spaces that represent informal learning spaces are varied and include: outdoor space, corridors, lobbies and lounges, coffee shop, and library. There are factors that affect the success of informal learning spaces, including: Spaces conform to the needs of learners. Achieving a balance between society and isolation. Stimulus .
